Guns from Greek warships[edit]

This link [1] shows the Greek battleship Kilkis (former USS Mississippi) as sunk in 1941 with her 12" guns intact. Only the Lemnos' guns were installed on shore in the 1930s. The Kilkis had retained her guns for use in gunnery training. --Kevin Murray (talk) 02:13, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
